Just read through the thread this evening. Great work & result! Curious as to why you ended up deleting the eFan & going back to a fan clutch setup?

Worked on finishing the details on the seats. Driver's seat I had to remove again & modify the backrest cushion base foam in order for the cover to pull together underneath Forward lip has to fold over & tuck into the rear panel channel I punched the ends & used tie wraps to hold the...

They are listed for S40/V50, Ridies.com doesn't have a listing for C30 - I was under the impression that the only difference was the C30 back release that is not present on S/V P1s. They definitely don't fit as snug as the CanadaSeatSkins version I bought years ago for my C30, and the cut is...

They are more comfortable than 740 seats... :-) Finished up the driver's seat & installed. Have to futz with the seat module some more - I clearly didn't fully lobotomize it like the passenger one.

Passenger seat finished & installed. Still do have to heat & smooth the leather some more The beige isn't the same as the Volvo beige, but the interior is faded in different ways. The alternative beige they had was too deep After that I worked on the driver's seat rail spacers and the wiring...

Thank you. It seems they just add layers of complexity with all the CANbus crap. I guess in this case one just has to kill enough of the brains to allow the basic switching to remain operative. I was assuming the ground side would be what needed attention - that's been my experience with other...

Good progress! On my Regina +T I was just going to re-pin my Regina/Rex harness to LH2.4/EZK & add the power stage shielded harness, for all the reasons stated - reversed ABS & battery locations, etc. Since I'm going LS, it's all moot for me.

Worked on the passenger seat today. Cut off factory mount ears spacer for inner rear, to allow clearance for the fore/aft shaft hold down removed the occupant sensor & pad grid is reverse of drivers side With the module powered, I momentarily shorted the for/aft pin to the...

Wrapped this up (finally). I tried a number of ways to connect the center pins of SW4 to the fore/aft motor (A2), without much success. I found that spiking the center pin to the adjacent power pin would bring the circuit alive - but only long enough to move the motor briefly. I repeatedly...

Working on installing the C30 seats. The rails are about 2" narrower than the 740 rails. Not enough to be able to fit brackets on the outside of each rail, and be able to get bolts through. I set the seat position based on the inboard rail, drilled a mount hole through the rail to secure the...

I would say they are the least ugly version, of under bumper fogs for the later bumper.

Headlamps are new this year - I previously used the ECode variety for a couple years, however they are a royal PITA to actually adjust for good light distribution. The stock ones are just easier to set up. That is a second skirt cut & fitted upside down. I had several variants I had modded to...

I still have the instructions form mine. You need the template, if you are using the Volvo kit. Given the shape of the 90 - front pumper/skirt, generic fogs or the earlier Volvo (-89) brackets will look like ass.

In a bit of a funk the past couple weeks - missing teaching. Been chipping away at work on the house, and odds & ends on the cars. Today I took care of the handbrake cables on the C30, and the worn AC clutch. Handbrakes was a little more complex than the instructions, as all the AWD components...

I still haven't located an Explorer 8.8. We are also planning on moving several hours drive upstate in the next year - looking for suitable homes that can accommodate us and my mother - so I'm not in any rush to collect heavy parts I'll only have to transport at the mo. Basic plan is just to...

Did the engine breather box/ oil filter housing and vent hoses on a friends 2013 C30 - 100K miles. The intake gasket has reed valves, and the runners have vent passages that unify the breather system, so I always remove & clean all that out as part of the operation.

Sounds like you have made up your mind. The V70 is a nice car, and in many ways much more comfortable. Yours looks great. That's an awesome color for the wagon. Having owned 850's a 98 V70, 99 S70 and prior to that every permutation of 700/900, I would opt for the RWD. Easier to maintain. You...

Filled the trench & graded the ground. Wired the receptacles today West side (end of run) South side With sliding cover down.

So, of course there were problems. I should never have buried the conduit before I had the actual wires run through it. I had to dig up the West end & cut the conduit so I could feed the 12/3 through the bends. I ran fish tape from the other end, and then tied the 12/3 to it & pulled it back to...

Dug the rest of the trench around the West side, and run the conduit. I had forgotten to order more 12/3 solid THHN, so I ran a snake so I can pull through the wire through tomorrow. connected the first leg to the feed off the receptacle 1st post in place, I'll remove the cap to feed...
